Petrali: Organ Music

This new recording presents Petrali’s Messa Solenne for organ, as well as a selection of 34 Etudes for the Modern Organ. Played on 3 historical Lingiardi organs, dating from the time of composition of the music, instruments with which the composers was well acquainted, by organist Paolo Bottini, who already successfully recorded CDs for Brilliant Classics with keyboard works by Pescetti and Valeri. The complete technical specifications of the organs are included in the booklet. Composer: Vincenzo Petrali Artists: Paolo Bottini (organ) Vincenzo Petrali (1830-1889) was an organist-composer active in the north of Italy. Acclaimed in his own time as a master improviser, the equal in this regard to French contemporaries such as Guilmant and Widor, he left a small, beautifully crafted body of original work for ecclesiastical use, around a third of it presented on this new album. He wrote two organ Masses in the tradition of 17th-century Venetian school composers such as Merula and Merulo, in which each verse of the text and its associated Gregorian chant inspires an instrumental meditation: Paolo Bottini has recorded the lesser-known F major Mass, which includes an especially dramatic, march-like Sonata for the Offertory and an ebullient final Allegro festoso. language of his own time, drawing on both symphonic and operatic styles. However, he belonged to the Cecilian movement, exemplified by the sacred works of Mendelssohn, which sought to establish a new and distinctive idiom for church composition, which is heard to best effect in a quartet of Communion pieces at the end of CD1, which fully exploit the size and array of tone-colours available to him on the newly built instruments of the time.
